Updated version of my older mod here (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=147076), fixed for the new security token feature.

This is a quick template mod that roughly emulates the search box here at vB.org, without the forum select dropdown. I saw a few mods somewhat like it but none with the input box, and like many people here once vB.org released the new skin, I had to have the search box. So after a bit of coding and hacking around, here's the way I did it.

Note that simply clicking the search button with no query will bring you to the default search page.

Simply comment out the search text, like so. I'm sure there's a better way to accomplish this, but that's how I pull it off on my site. Any input appreciated.

<!-- $vbphrase[search] -->

This will be considered beta until I have it running with 3.7 for awhile to ensure there are no other hidden issues.

Just installed, and I wanted to note that the link for 'form action' has to be updated to reflect your own forums URL. Other than that, great job!

I just did some navbar editing and ran into this problem. I was able to fix it by changing the 'id=' parameter slightly. Hope this helps someone!
